    Yeah, have to say going to Manc though it was fab unsettled me~reminded me what it was like to have a life:rotfl:
    On a positive note if I hadent really had a mini blitz this last few months then things would be so not good the next few months.
    So every cloud & all that.
    If i can just get through this year things will be much better.

    could you not have a wee bit of a mini life Beanie? nowt as expensive as Manc but more than you are doing at the mo? I've just been getting a bit lazy and refusing nearly all nights out even if they are cheap which is not really good for me - might be easier on the bank account but very dull and I think I need to see live people more often!
    Just found out DS lied to me - grrr!!!! I suppose it's normal but jeez! it's over something fairly trivial but it's the lying that gets me. am taking the "I'm so disappointed in you for lying" approach rather than yell - he's feeling baaad!

    The important thing is to try to get the balance - ultimately Manchester was a bunch of people sitting around a table eating and drinking and talking to one another. That needn't be expensive. The problem with the meets is the travel and accommodation - but meeting friends who live close - or who you can put up could be quite reasonable.

    A wee mini-meet would be good Beanie, maybe we could set something up with Maz and Jinks (if she ever gets back from Florida).
